HAROLD OLIVER Asscciated Press Staff Writer. WASHINGTON.— (AP) —Con gress edged up almost to the point of adjournment Saturday night nd then found the difficulties could not be surmeunted. Faced by an uprising in the sen ate against President Roosevelt's reorganization proposal and ob iections that blecked passage of the appropriations measure carry ing funds to start the economic recovery program into full aetion, genate leaders ~ ddjourned that branch over thé week-end. Before the plans for a sine die adjournment were abandoned, however, a long day and night of work had brought virtual agree ment on the two major disputes that remained to be settled—the veterans compensation cuts and the industrial recovery bill. The first was beng ironed out in con ference after an administration compromise had been accepted by the house. The second lacked' only senate acquiescence to a confer ence agreement.

THE BOARD OF REGENTS AND THE GCEORGIA STATE TEACHERS’ COLLEGE In this column, a week ago, appeared a discussion of the recent cweeping changes wrought in Georgia’s University system by di voction of the Board of Regents. Theée point was raised that, in the abcence of any expocition on the part of the Board of the motives prompting the modification, consolidation or abolition of various departmente, the public and taxpayers who support these institu tions felt—and juctifiably so—that they were being ignored in a trancaction in which they are vically concerned. .. Attention was directed to the {act that meetings of the Board of Regents at which, we presume, the significance of contemplated change. are {ully discussed, are not open to the public and the press; and, as has recently occurred, the entire University system inay be completely overhauled and the bare recults announced with no explanation of cause or anticipation of effect. The inequitability of such a procedure was pointed out, and The Banner-Herald re quested that the Board of Regents—in justification of its own posi tion as well as in fairness to the public, cause to be published a report embodying the reasons that prompted the changes recently inaugurated-—the report referred to being that submitted to the Board following the survey of the University system by a well known Foundation, ac we had been led to believe that, in the main, this document provided the pattern for the re-vamping that has been effected. So, it was gratifying to learn from Chancellor Snelling in a { communication, published in the Banner-Herald on June Bth, that the survey report is in process of being printed in pamphet form, copies of which will be available at an early date. With eager in terest, we shall await a copy of the report in the hope that it will dissipate pronounced misgivings that we, in common with innum erable other tax-payers, entertain regarding the wisdom of certain dicta emanating from the Bcard, Not that we question the sin- | cerity of this body; but the issues involved are of such coloksal magnitude that a false or ill-adviced step may quite conceivably { entail devastating effects. An educational system representing a growth and development of over one hundred years and permeated with certain ideals and objectives cannot be completely re.vamped with one fell stroke unless, unfortunately, the perpetrators are af flicterd with a ruthiessness that does not establish the proper bal ance hetween cause and effect. One of the principal issues, the explanation of which we anti cipate in the survey report, concerns the institution originally knawn as the State Normal School (under which unpretentious label it functioned for nealy forty years), later as Teachers College, then as the College of Education, and which, in future, will be called the Coordinate Junior Woman’s College—this, we are advised, being the most recent dictum. Ac we see it—and we admit we are still largely in the dark—the Board of Regents has completely disemboweled the State Teachers College, leaving little more than a cadaverous shell, despite the fact that on this campus are buildings that are valued at $494,000 and equipment representing an investment of $200,000. An insti tuition that, from 1895 to 1933, had an enroliment of 25,000 girls drawn mainly from small tewns and rural communities; a school noted, not only for the scholastic attainments of its graduates, but alse for the high ideals which it instilled in them, and for the unswerving loyalty they bear their Alma Mater; a teachers' thain ing laboratory that was established by the tax-payers of Georgia to uarve a particular purpose (and served it well) and wag pro vided with buildings and equipment from the proceeds of public and private contributions; a school whose faculty was told one year ago that the Board's plan was to develop it into one of the finect Teachers’ Colleges in the South—such an institution has been abolished. In the process of integration, this fine old, scheol that hae so faithfully served Georgia girls of modest means sacrifices i's identity and becomes the girls’ junior department of the Uni verity of Georgia. The past achievements* of which it is justly proud, together with its aspirations for the future are submerged in the debacle called integration. At least that is the manner in which it impresses us in the absence of specific information from the Board. However, it is not so much the sentimental loss entailed that | engages us in our groping efforts to grasp the significance of the changes wrought at the old Normal School. We would readily brush aside sentiment if if constituted an obstacle to progress. But when we cansider certain facts and figures that pertain alto aether to the practical sidé of the situation, we cannot escape the conviction that in this particular the Board of Regents has failed to render a constructive serviec. We are altogether honest in that conviction, which, perhaps, may be fostered by the meager infor mation which we have; and in making the statement we do not ‘ wish to be construed as charging dereliction of duty to the Board. On the contrary, we believe the Board of Regents is honeotly corcerned in building an educational structure in Georgia that is commensurate with our hopes and ambitions, but the members ar2 all bucy men and dependent, perhaps, on.surveys and reporis and the | like, for their guidance in matters of policy. - Wel cannot’ accolint, ‘ in any oiher way, for the gymnastics that has been employed Jn connection with the Georgia State Teachers’ College. Were the individual members of the Board as familiar with the incompara ble service rendercd by this unique institution as we are, we hazard the declaration that, instead of dispensing with the College, the - would have recognized in it a nucleus upon which to erect a structure that would rival any teachers’ training school in the country, Do th.foard members realize that prior to the 1932.33 term, it cost a student at the Normal Schoo! only $165.00 per year for both tuition and board, constituting, 've are told, the cheapest normal training in the United States and offering to parents of modest moans an opportunity to give their daughters exceptional educa tional advantages? - Do the Regents know- that a certificate from this institutfon, carned at a minimum of expense, is reocgnized in any state in the Union as adequate evidence of the necessary preparation to teach? And also that graduates of this college are in great demand, not only in Georgia, but in many other states as well where they have acquitted themselves crditably? Are thz Board members cognizant of the fact that the people of Georgia are so thoroughly sold—anc¢ have been for years—on the cystem of education developed at the old Normal School that it would have been possible to double the enroliment, had the state seen fit to provide the necessary buildings and equipment? Hae it occurred to the members of the Board that fifteen of the eighteen buildings on the Normal School campus were erected with funds derived largely from public and private confributions, the donors of which had reason to believe that they were contrib uting toward the perpetuation es a type of educational training that was serving a useful purpose and was not being duplicated elsewhere? : oot “.' Does not the Board of Regents feel—if they pause to analyze the situation—that the steady growth in enrollment, spirit and influence from 1917 to 1932 at the' Normal School, in spite of no physical expansion, is a fair barometer by which to guage the use fulness of this institution and the esteem in which it is held by parents who have daughters to be educated?
